When you use the on screen keys how do you take of the other ones I use nstools but they still light up when I start it up and I have to touch them to turn off the light how I permanently turn them off?

Why you would want to use the on screen buttons with the Nexus S? If you do this, than what are you doing with the real buttons on the bottom of the phone? Isn't that just wasting more screen real estate by using the on screen buttons?

Nope. Sorry. Actually trying to find out how to disable some of the notifications (lights) on my built in buttons to potentially save more battery life.

What's the current problem? Setting BLN to 0 turns my cap buttons off (effectively) permanently while using the phone.

Manually through sysfs or NSTools (same thing). You may need NSTools or an init.d script to do it each boot though.
I used nstools but with nstools everytime I turn off the screen and turn it back on the touch keys would light up still and I have to touch them again to turn of the light I want them to stay off

I just tried myself using the latest stable Trinity 1320 and with timeout set to 0 and bln on the buttons stay off even after switching the screen on and off multiple times. Unsure what's going on there. What kernel and version are you using?
I was trying it on the maxr1x 19.5 I haven't tryed on v20.0?

Is it possible to disable the backlight for the soft keys?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty sure there isn't a way but don't quote me on that. My logic is because it seems the backlit keys use the screen light to actually become backlit they aren't like a separate area really.
I think they are on a separate sensor. In CM7 they would be off a lot of the time.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes they can be disabled.

You can try the LEDS hack (root) from the market.. I know it works on the inc, haven't tried it on the thunderbolt though I know it's not listed as "supported".. worth a shot
Could you point me in the direction I need to go?

There are two LEDs at the bottom of the phone that light the keys. I accidentally covered them up when replacing my LCD so I have no backlight for the keys now and...I kinda like it! They aren't bleeding into the screen now too.

They can be disabled in the kernel.
You can disable them.by editing the framework also =)
App called "screen filter" has the option for it. Only lasts as long as its open though(runs in background, open in notifications). But it does work.

Hey guys, I'm running cm7 on my nexus s 4g and sometimes when the screen is off the soft key backlight comes on. Wondering if I'm the only one with this issue.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I think that is the BLN (back light notification)
It's suppose to come on when the screen is off if you have a text message or something like that.
Look for an app on the Market called "BLN" to turn it off

If you are running cm7 or cm9, check out this guide for dimming the screen, just set all the button values to zero and the soft buttons won't light up anymore.

you could always install MikG 3.11 and run Miktweaks which is built into the ROM; it has the option to disable the illumination for those buttons.

You've gone into the advanced settings and checked the adjust soft key box? Then set the frequency to always off.
You need to check lux to never be killed. Then bring up the dashboard and refresh you lux value and then the settings should stick. I've found that at night the capacitive keys turn back on though.

You can try the link button to match the settings to a particular lux value. Honestly it took a bit of trial and error to get the settings to stick.
Do the steps before open the dashboard, let it adjust the value. Set your default back light % and then link it. Mine eventually stuck. As I said at night they still come back on. Go figure !

You can just disasmble the screen and take out the light filters for the 4 keys! That's what I did.

Some ICS ROMs have annoying always-on backlight of the hardware capacitive buttons.
Try one of these to eliminate/dim that :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.adjbrightness
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim
According to ShortbusDriver none of these work.
Can someone confirm this works - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26195948&postcount=4
No didn't work either....that would have been an awesome fix though lol
did you try to toggle auto brightness on and off ?
lights should turn off when screen is off.
No capacitive lights do go off with screen....just never go off as long as the screen is on.... for example when watching video a movie let's say....capacitive keys stay on and bright as ever
I see, it exists in CM7 as well.
Probably kernel related.

Timeout please...seemed to be somewhere around 30 secs or so on stock.
edit: now that I reconsider it may have only been like 10 secs top.

It's the same on all ICS roms that I have flashed, and I think I have tested them all
Screen filter is a quick fix...and if you enable navigation bar it works fairly well.

Are you on JellyBam or what ROM do you have, I know my lights are active as long as you touch the screen or flip the phone the sensor turns them on but I want them on all the time and only shut off when I turn the phone off it's what I'm use to?
